Hey guys,
today I thought to myself, it would be interesting to show you, as I am trying to eat as healthy as possible and gain muscle mass, what my nutrition looks like and kind of elaborate why I am eating these specific things. Mind you, I am a completely beginner and dont have the best knowledge about the perfect nutrition. This is actually what the post is about, to share the things I know, which you may or may not know, but also to get advise from you guys.
Ok, lets start with the breakfast. After waking up, I always make sure to drink a lot of water on an empty stomach, because I just got up from a long period of dehydration, obviously. So I drank today about 3 cups of water. Then I made myself something quick to eat. I had a mixed bowl with cereal and oatmeal, and I sprinkled a little bit of dark chocolate on it to have a little bit of taste. And yes I used dark chocolate for a reason, it is actually good for you if you buy the right one and dont have too much of it, I will cover it up in another post. Besides of that I had whole grain bread with peanut butter on it, a banana and a cup of pineapple juice. Peanut butter for the healthy fats, a banana for vitamins and pineapple for fast muscle recovery and growth.
Straight after breakfast I had a house tour to visit. When I came back home I ate tuna fish and a joghurt with lot of protein but low in fat, to make sure I get some protein in me.
After, a little bit more than an hour, my parents made lunch. Today we hade chicken with rice and salad. I actually ate half a chicken and two big plates of rice and salad. I was full for couple of hours :D I think this lunch is pretty good, there is protein, fats and lots of carbohydrate.
Now, after couple of hours I was able to eat again. I made myself some noodles and on the side I had a little bit of chicken left over from lunch. And a cup of juice of course :)
This was my last proper meal of the day. Between meal to meal I had some healthy snacks of course, like nuts and a little bit of dark chocolate. I also made sure to drink a lot of water during the day.
Before getting to bed, I want to make sure to consume high quality protein, in my case it is going to be a protein shake, since I haven't drank one today.
This is it guys. As I mentioned before, I want to build some weight and muscles, so for me it is important to eat a lot. I actually dont count how many calories every meal, I take, has.
I would like to get some suggestions to how I can improve my diet even more, just leave a comment down below.
